Heretofore a tang starting from the corner (1, and extending in the direction of the handle 6, has been made upon the cleaver, and upon this tang a handle has been driven, the same as a handle is driven upon thetang of a file. A cleaver is used to As a new article of manufacture, the cleaver-body A having the eye f upon its upper edge, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
